When You Leave, Here

When You Leave, Here

Left on a letter,
Right on the kitchen counter
The hallways emptier
Missing the sounds of your laughter

I’ll chase those moments for many days after
And I’ll hide from the silence that follows me

When the time comes
And you’re gone
Just know the strength you’ve given me

When the time comes
And you’re gone
I’ll look after your shadows following me

Left on a letter,
Right on the table
Your words made me better
Yet I still look for you

I’ll choose to buy the fable
And find the ending you deserve

When the time comes
And you’re gone
Just know I’ll carry your weight

When the time comes
And you’re gone
I’ll look after your shadows following me

When you leave, here
Your love is dear
